An
improved
atomic
trigger
for
America's
H-bomb
may
be
the
first
device
tested
in
the
Atomic
Energy
Commission's
new
series

to
start
tomorrow.

The
disclosure
was
made
by
Dr.
Alvin
C.
Graves,
veteran
U.

nuclear
weapons
tester,
on
the
eve
of
Operation

the

held
here
in

years.

The

scheduled
to
include
Army
participation.
Several

troops
will
take
trench
positions
about
4,000
yards
from

Important
Despite
the
smaller
nature
of
the
devices
to
be
tested
here
this
time,
there
is
no
underestimating
their
Importance.
Every
test
this
series,
AEC
Chairman
Lewis
L.
Strauss
declared
yesterday,
has
been
deemed
necessary
from
the
standpoint
of
our
national
secu
ty.
"Soviet
leaders
have
been
boasting
in
recent
days
of
their
rapid
progress
and
their
early
development
of
very
powerful
weapons,'
Strauss
told
a
news
cpnference
"We
have
no
alternative
but
to
keep
our
strength
at
peak
levels.
The
consequences
of
any
other
course
would
Impreil
our
liberty,
even
our
existence."
The
initial
test,
Graves
said,
would
be
of
interest
to
all

plant
manager
Riley
Quick
explained
today.
It
all
began
when
the
firm
made
a
changeover
in
some
machinery
near
the
end
of
the
month!
Until
that
time
the
plant
hadn't
produced
,
as
many
as
3,000
completed
welded
units
in
a
single
shift.
On
Feb.
3,
the
day
shift
passed
that
mark
for
the
first
time
with
an
output
of
3,316.
After
the
night
shift
had
increased
the
record
to
3,680
shortly
thereafter,
the
rivalry
qnickpned
and
Mr.
Quick
promised
a
"cake
and
coffee"
party
to
the
shift
which
reached
the
4,000
mark
first.
The
night
shift
promptly
set
to
work
and
came
up
with
production
of
4,128
units
one
night
last
week.
They
got
their
party
and
formed
the
"4.000
Club."
But
it
didn't
remain
an
exclusive
group
for
long.
The

exceeded
the
record
by
almost
300
units
with
a
mark
of
4,416.
They
also
got
a

They
claimed
their
record
by
leaving

lower

see.
Upon
seeing
the
poster
that
evening,
the
night
shift
wasn't
to
be
outdone.
By
the
end
of
the
work
period
a
new
mark
of
4,560
had
been
set
and
it
still
stands.
Mr.
Quick
said
he
was
"very
well
pleased
with
production
to
date."
He
said
the
records
were
a
compliment
to
the
employes,
particularly
since
most
of
the
workers
had
started
on
these
jobs
with
no

today
Soviet

was
encouraging
them
in
their
campaign
to
take
Formosa.
Peiping
radio
broadcast
an
editorial
in
the
Peiping
People's
Daily,
government
newspaper,
saying:
"The
Soviet
people
are
always
nur
most
reliable
and
faithful

"The
righteous

given
us
by

and

in

struggle
to

and
safeguard

gives
us
great
encouragement
an

in

The
paper
also
commented
that
Red
China
has
"pledged
to
support
the
Soviet

and
the
European

in
the
fight
against
the

of

"Her

Moscow,
Sir
William
Hayter,
is
still
exploring
with
the
Russians
the
idea
of
a

parley,
the
spokesman
said.
He
added,
however:
"We

m'ake
it
clear
that
the
contacts
with
the
Soviet
government
on
the
basis
of

us
to

The
